Description

The charged pion spectra in anti pd→π-π0ps, π-π+ns have been measured. The Doppler broadening of the pion momentum due to the spectator neutron recoil is at least a factor of two larger than that due to the proton and in disagreement with that expected from the deuteron wave function. This effect and earlier observations on spectators are well described by assuming narrow anti NN bound states near threshold. (orig.)
